I know taxation status is different from immigration status. But I am wondering anyone knows CRA has your immigration status (e.g. citizen, PR, study permit or work permit) on file?

As mentioned earlier, the quickest way you can tell is by someone's SIN number (as citizens/PR's numbers start with different numbers than temporary residents). Given the CRA has your SIN number, they can certainly tell.
